    1967: A Year In The Life Of The Beatles History, Subjectivity, Music Linda Engebråten Masteroppgave ved Institutt for Musikkvitenskap UNIVERSITETET I OSLO November 2010 Acknowledgements First, I would like to express my gratitude towards my supervisor Stan Hawkins for all his knowledge, support, enthusiasm, and his constructive feedback for my project. We have had many rewarding discussions but we have also shared a few laughs about that special music and time I have been working on. I would also like to thank my fellow master students for both useful academically discussions as much as the more silly music jokes and casual conversations. Many thanks also to Joel F. Glazier and Nancy Cameron for helping me with my English. I thank John, Paul, George, and Ringo for all their great music and for perhaps being the main reason I begun having such a big interest and passion for music, and without whom I may not have pursued a career in a musical direction at all. Many thanks and all my loving to Joakim Krane Bech for all the support and for being so patient with me during the course of this process. Finally, I would like to thank my closest ones: my wonderful and supportive family who have never stopped believing in me. This thesis is dedicated to my grandparents. There are places I'll remember All my life though some have changed. Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain. All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall. Some are dead and some are living, In my life I've loved them all.

  • The Summer of Love: Hippie Culture and the Beatles in 1967
    TCNJ JOURNAL OF STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP VOLUME XVI APRIL, 2014 THE SUMMER OF LOVE: HIPPIE CULTURE AND THE BEATLES IN 1967 Author: Kathryn Begaja Faculty Sponsor: David Venturo, Department of English ABSTRACT Though the hippie ideology had been brewing under the radar in San Francisco for many years, in June of 1967, the necessary catalyst appeared to advance the hippie movement to nationwide prominence, encouraging thousands of American youths to reject mainstream ideology. That catalyst, the record- topping Beatles’ album Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, conveyed the simplest principles of the counterculture: LSD, love, and rejection of the unhip establishment. Entering into “the zone of maximal contact,” the Beatles’ music inspired thousands to make a hippie pilgrimage to Haight-Ashbury.1 Known to its residents as “the Haight,” this San Francisco district adapted to the influx of hippies with the creation of an alternative social order, including functional counterinstitutions to serve the needs of the hippie community. Again, the Beatles’ enter into a dialogue with the revolutionary hippie lifestyle by developing their own counterinstitution: Apple Corps. The Beatles’ interaction with the hippie counterculture allowed the utopian visions of both groups to reach peak levels of intensity during the Summer of Love. INTRODUCTION For a few, brief months in 1967, the United States was shocked by a counterculture influence that was able to permeate the mainstream, influencing popular music and demanding media attention. Known as the Summer of Love, this era marked the peak of hippie influence on America. The hippie movement of the nineteen-sixties evolved from the Beatnik counterculture of the previous decade.

    1967: A Year In The Life Of The Beatles History, Subjectivity, Music Linda Engebråten Masteroppgave ved Institutt for Musikkvitenskap UNIVERSITETET I OSLO November 2010 Acknowledgements First, I would like to express my gratitude towards my supervisor Stan Hawkins for all his knowledge, support, enthusiasm, and his constructive feedback for my project. We have had many rewarding discussions but we have also shared a few laughs about that special music and time I have been working on. I would also like to thank my fellow master students for both useful academically discussions as much as the more silly music jokes and casual conversations. Many thanks also to Joel F. Glazier and Nancy Cameron for helping me with my English. I thank John, Paul, George, and Ringo for all their great music and for perhaps being the main reason I begun having such a big interest and passion for music, and without whom I may not have pursued a career in a musical direction at all. Many thanks and all my loving to Joakim Krane Bech for all the support and for being so patient with me during the course of this process. Finally, I would like to thank my closest ones: my wonderful and supportive family who have never stopped believing in me. This thesis is dedicated to my grandparents. There are places I'll remember All my life though some have changed. Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain. All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall. Some are dead and some are living, In my life I've loved them all.
